How soon can D.C. get a rep in Congress?

Posted on December 1, 2008 by iwilder

The DC Statehood Green Party affirm with every mention of their name that DC deserves to get its fair representation in Congress. Some media have reported a possible deal to give DC and Utah each an extra vote in Congress at the same time. (Which, is one way to cancel out the probably Democratic vote […]

Could D.C. Get a Voting Member of the House in 2009?

Posted on November 7, 2008 by iwilder

I don’t count on any political promises like this until they happen. You have to keep up the vigilance of the demand. Though, I hope this is true. The Greens in D.C. call themselves “The DC Statehood Green Party“, so that every time their name is mentioned, their demand is mentioned. That is cool. Betcha […]

Interesting race in D.C.

Posted on November 4, 2008 by iwilder

I am trying to figure out from the coverage what is going on. I believe that it is a close race between a Republican write-in and a Democrat. A Green Party candidate was on the ballot, though I think not one of the top contendors at this stage in the vote count. The Green Party […]

Looks like Cynthia will not be at Oct. 23rd debate

Posted on October 23, 2008 by iwilder

I was wondering what was up with all this. I believe that the person who organized the debate in DC is pretty much a Nader supporter. So, I think Cynthia made a tactical decision. After all the hoopla and everyone changing minds and positioning in regards to the Oct. 19th debate, I figured it would […]

A chance to make the government help a third party

Posted on June 11, 2008 by iwilder

Posted by Kimberly Wilder: Wow! I have to say, I did not realize that candidates have two chances to qualify for Federal Matching Funds.
